Synopsis

The time is the 24th century and the ship is the newly commissioned Enterprise-E. It's captain, Jean-Luc Picard, has been ordered not to interfere in a combat between a Borg Cube and ships from the Federation. However, seeing the Federation is about to lose, Picard ignore his orders and take command of the defending fleet. With his knowledge of the weak spot of the Cube, they destroy it. However, a small part of it escapes and plot a course directly to Earth. The Enterprise chases it and enters a time distortion created by the Borg. They end up in the mid 21st century, their only chance of stopping the Borg from assimilating Earth being to help Zefram Cochrane make his famous first faster than light travel to the stars...

Critics' reviews

"'Star Trek: First Contact' is one of the best of the eight “Star Trek” films: Certainly the best in its technical credits, and among the best in the ingenuity of its plot (...) Rating: ★★★½ (sobre 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"The most idealistic of all Trek films, even while being the darkest"

Alex Carter: Den of Geek
"Blessed with clever plot devices and a villainous horde that makes the once-dread Klingons seem like a race of Barneys, First Contact does everything you'd want a 'Star Trek" film to do"

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"[It] displays a zippy new energy and a sleek, confident style fully independent of its predecessors."

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"A smashingly exciting sci-fi adventure that ranks among the very best in the long-running Paramount franchise"

Variety
"As the Borg likes to say, resistance is futile -- and also unnecessary."
